There are 6 possible outcomes for each dice roll, and since there are two dice, there are a total of 36 possible outcomes when both dice are rolled.
Out of these 36 outcomes, there are 6 outcomes where both dice have the same value: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), and (6,6).
Therefore, the probability of the dice being equal is 6/36, which simplifies to 1/6, or approximately 0.1667.
Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability of the dice being equal?
